This is one of those parties that must be seen to be believed.

Once or twice a year, the folks who used to run Rhinestones — a Beaumont nightclub that was the place to be in the ’80s — transform The Gig into an ’80s-era nightclub and if you think you don’t like that era’s jams, you’re dead wrong.

Within minutes the lights, the projectors, the glowing everything and the writhing bodies will have you on the dance floor diggin’ on dance music from electronic pioneers like Front 242, Depeche Mode and Erasure.

It is an awesome event that harkens back to an era when a party just wasn’t a party without flashing lights, fog machines and Ministry.
